Map of WymondhambyAnyway, I had in my possession a lovely old map of Wymondham - full size (not the parish one that included Edmonthorpe and others) but full size of just Wymondham itself. I had it up on my wall of my old flat just to preserve the fact that is where I come from! Unfortunately, being in the wrong place, the sun has now faded out the map - aww! I asked Mum if she had a spare one, but it seems that she only had the parish one. Can anyone help me with another copy? or lead me to someone who can do another for me? Im proud of Wymondham and want to keep it up on the wall! Show it off to my friends in Bristol! Look forward to your help and if anyone has one or advice, pls respond to this mail AND speak to my mother.

Respond to this message Goto Forum Home The Berkeley ArmsbyMy sister Cathy and her partner Nick have asked me to let you know that they are the new tenants of the Berkeley Arms and will be moving in around 10th December. They hope to open around 17th December. They have two children, Emma who is 12 and Joanne who is 11. They are moving from Cheshire where Nick works as a Head Chef in a hotel. Nick is originally from Liverpool and Cathy is originally from Bletchley near Milton Keynes. They are both in their mid thirties. They have visited Wymondham on a number of occasions recently and are looking forward to moving there and hope you will regard The Berkeley Arms as your pub. I'm not sure how often this website is accessed but if anyone is interested in seeing sample menus or would like more information on when the Berkeley Arms will definitely open then please e-mail me and I will do my best to keep you up-to-date. Regards, Pauline Wright Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Re: Berkeley ArmsbyI've let the Cottage Stores and the Bottom Shop have the details, so they can spread the word. The parched peeps of Wymondham look forward to the re-opening of their pub.

Ian & Gilly Craig September Cottage Rookery Lane P.S. I think the web site is an excellent idea - we're sending the address to a pen pal in Australia so they can get an idea of the things that are going on. It would be nice if someone could include some photos of the village. Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Re: Barometers!!!byAn OS map to check the elevation? As for photos, I hope the sketches in the Gallery will more than do for now. As you know, the work on the watermains has spoilt current opportunities for photos. It would be nice to use the ones from the WI project. And how about some from the pantos? Regards, Jake Wymondham's web-cobbler Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Huddlestone Family historybyI am researching my family history which was strongly influenced by Wymondham and would welcome any contact with information regarding the Huddleston family. The earliest record appears to have been a Christopher Huddleston in 1650-ish, then a strong line from a big family starting in the early 1700's until at least the early 1900's. Many thanks, Alan Huddleston http://www.ambleside.demon.co.uk/ Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Re: Huddlestone Family historybyI'll have a delve in Ralph Penniston Taylor's history of the village for you. Regards, Jake Wymondham's web-cobbler Respond to this message Goto Forum Home ThankyoubyThe Huddleston family was in Wymondham from the 1700's until early 1900's, prior to this they came from Edmonthorpe which is where my research is currently centered. Post early 1900's, many of the Huddleston's had ventured to Leicester and surrounding areas. Many thanks to all, and to Jake for this web site. Alan Huddleston Respond to this message Goto Forum Home Re:Family historybyGraham Huddlestone Respond to this message Goto Forum Home MaybebyIt seems likely that you might be if you traced the family history back far enough. The Huddleston family have origins back to 1200 in Cambridgeshire and Northumbria with links to Yorkshire. My own family come from Wymondham as far back as the late 1600's and prior to that in Edmonthorpe. As yet I have been unable to establish a link to the main brances in Cambridge or Northumbria. Have you any lines back to Wymondham or Leicestershire?
